St. Charles — An arrest warrant was issued this week for a 21-year-old Elgin man suspected of holding his former girlfriend hostage at gunpoint while he drove around St. Charles, police said. Police said they are searching for Juan Marquina, of 292 Villa St., but believe the suspect may have gone into hiding. Marquina is alleged to have picked up a 17-year-old Elgin girl under false pretenses, then refused to allow her out of his car as he drove around July 27. The victim eventually escaped about 6 p.m. in the 100 block of North 5th Avenue, police said.
